Belinda SubramanOur friends through cables and computer screens are as real as the light and sound waves we alter through thought.
About This Quote
It’s easy for us to treat our friends through the internet as if they were actually there with us. We can click on an email and chat with them, or use Facebook to keep in touch. If we are really lucky, we can even make a video call. So, it’s easy to think of our friends as being “real,” but of course, they are not.
They are not real in the same way that an apple is real, or your hand is real. Our friends are only real to us though, because we are real to ourselves.
